There is a little more potential there for CPU and GPU, but nothing that would make you get more FPS magically. I guess around 720p low @ 60FPS is the best you can manage with your hardware for CS GO. Not bad if you ask me. Also, if you are playing multiplayer, then FPS is also affected a lot...

Not sure if it matches the color scheme of your build or not, but you really cannot go wrong with this motherboard : Asus Z170-A ATX board : http://www.amazon.com/dp/B012NH05UW/?tag=pcpapi-20 It's from Asus, a company you can trust. It's a beast for overclocking too, if that is what you are...

Install MSI afterburner and set up on screen display of the CPU and GPU usage. This will allow you to see how much of your CPU and GPU is being used while in-game. If either your CPU or GPU is being used to 100 percent then there is nothing much you can do about it as that component is a...

Vsync caps your framerate to your monitor's native refresh rate. Therefore, it will cap the FPS to 60 (usually the refresh rate for most monitors). This gets rid of screen tearing and makes gaming more immersive. If your monitor supports more than 60Hz then there should be a way to change your...

Well, if you are gaming at 1080p then you can easily max out all games at that resolution with a sub $1000 build. Heck, even a well designed sub $600 build can play most games at 1080p @ 60FPS, so budget should not be a problem. Can't think of a better build for under $1000. You can save a few...

Take a deep breath and recheck your connections. I know sometimes it feels like everything's in place, but a small mistake can make it unbootable. Try checking it again. And while you are at it, please answer these questions : 1. Is the power LED turning on? 2. Are you seeing anything on the...

Yes, you can put a dedicated graphics card and use it exclusively for driving monitors and stuff. Your motherboard's graphics will not be used anymore if you are using dedicated graphics. You may or may not need to disable your Motherboard's graphics from the BIOS though, but that's about it...

Officially, Windows 7 Home version maxes out at 16GB. It is a limit that is added by Microsoft even though Windows 7 is capable of supporting much more. The higher versions of Windows support more, but you'll have to buy the full version of the next better option, which is Ultimate or...

Definitely 960. The GTX 960 can in some games perform on the same level as a 770 which is a great deal for $200. Also, I think the performance gain you get by buying a 960 is totally worth the extra price. Yes, your system looks compatible for most of the high end graphics card. An i5 is good...

Hey Toms! Long time since I have been here! I have to build a PC for my client for Photoshop CS4 use. I basically build gaming PCs and not PS related PCs, hence here are a few questions that I need to ask. He is on a really tight budget of INR 30,000 (~$470). 1. How much RAM is enough. For...

The build is okay, but you can certainly do better for that budget. Something along these specs would be good. Looks like you don't want to overclock, so that would save some money too. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core...

Your specs look good to me. The R9 290 is certainly more powerful than the Nvidia 760 and should be easily able to run BF4 at Ultra 50+ FPS easily at 1080p. The CPU is also not a bottleneck either. So, your specs are okay. 10GB RAM is good but can you specify a bit on what is your...

So a complete smartphone with a 1440p screen costs nearly the same as a 1440p monitor. Wat..?!
